Abstract
A solids-conveying pipe assembly includes two pipe components which are coupled together at the end faces, and a signal line is incorporated which provides information regarding the state of wear of the pipe components, characterized in that a seal is incorporated between the end faces of the pipe components, or in that a spacer disk is incorporated between the end faces of the pipe components. The signal line is arranged in an at least partially circumferential configuration in the seal or in the spacer disk, and the signal line is at least partly set back outwardly, in the radial direction, behind the inner lateral surface of at least one pipe component.

A solids-conveying pipe assembly, comprising:
- at least two pipe components which are coupled together at end faces thereof;
- a signal line configured to provide information regarding a state of wear of the at least two pipe components;
- and
- a seal or a spacer disk, wherein
- the seal or the spacer disk is incorporated between the end faces of the at least two pipe components,
- the signal line is arranged in an at least radial and partially circumferential configuration in the seal or in the spacer disk,
- the signal line is at least partially set back outwardly, in a radial direction, behind an inner lateral surface of at least one pipe component of the at least two pipe components,
- the at least two pipe components overlap one another at least in sections by the seal in an axial direction on respective outer lateral surfaces thereof, or the spacer disc partially overlaps at least one pipe component of the at least two pipe components radially on the respective outer lateral surfaces thereof in the axial direction,
- the seal or the spacer disc has a web protruding inwards in the radial direction,
- the web is arranged between the end faces of the at least two pipe components, and
- the signal line is cast in the web.
